The Lives of Ottoman Children

Much has been written
about shifts in the concept of childhood and the structure of families,
particularly for the period following industrialization. However, seldom
do the voices and experiences of children find their way into
historical narratives. In this podcast, Nazan Maksudyan offers some
insights about how to approach the history of children and childhood and
discusses the lives of Ottoman children during the empire's last
decades.

Nazan Maksudyan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at Istanbul Kemerburgaz University. Her work examines the social, cultural, and economic history of children and youth during the late Ottoman period. (see academia.edu)
